The Lodge was the tail-end of an epic adventure -- from the Arctic Circle, down Europe and then from Morocco via Africa to us down here at the bottom of the Continent, a vast distance of some 22 000 kilometers. Organised by Peterpanplanet , the two-and-a-half month-long extreme biking adventure took our guests down the western coast of Africa, including the Trans-Sahara Highway, across a diverse range of environments, from deserts to savannas and forests. The real adventure started in Punta de Tarifa in Spain, the southernmost point of Europe, and ended at Cape Agulhas in South Africa, the southernmost point of Africa. Entering Africa: Crossing into Africa via ferry from a Spain to Morocco, which marks the gateway to the African continent. Trans-Saharan Route: From Morocco, the route traversed Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Algeria, following the Trans-Sahara Highway. This stretch involved crossing the Sahara Desert, which presented challenges due to extreme temperatures, sand dunes, and vast arid landscapes. Sub-Saharan Africa: After the Sahara, the journey continued through countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Angola, Namibia, and finally reaching South Africa. The journey encompassed a variety of terrains, including desert landscapes in the Sahara, Sahel region, tropical rainforests in Central Africa, savannas, grasslands, and more developed urban areas along the way. Along the route, our intrepid travelers faced varying road conditions, bureaucratic hurdles at border crossings, extreme weather, potential security risks in certain regions, and logistical challenges. For the most part, they told us, the adventure was the thing - and the challenges faced were small in comparison.
